The RU-42 Multi-Function Roll Unit from Canon is an accessory for the imagePROGRAF TX-4000 44" large-format printer. It serves as a second roll unit that works in tandem with the one already included with the printer, forming a multi-function system with expanded versatility.

Once installed, this accessory unit can be configured for either feeding a second roll of media or as a take-up unit to rewind long printouts into their original form. Using it for loading essentially doubles your printing capacity and allows you to have two different media rolls ready for printing at any time. When configured for rewinding, you can choose to have the printed material on the outside or inside of the roll for increased convenience when displaying it.

We purchased this printer to replace an old iPF printer and it has been a great addition. Setup was very easy, installation of printer software was also quick, and it prints very high quality plans for our construction company. I would recommend this printer to anyone needing a large-format printer. 5

For me, the motivation was for a large (36), photographic printer that is cost effective. Doing this rather than using a print service enables quick results, but, it also allows me to easily produce any print aspect ratio for optimal composition. Started search with epson t5170 but found it lacking 3 core ability. Found my way to canon tm-340 (at practically the same price point) and was impressed with the features, and of course, it was 3 core capable, although I wish they would have included the 3 core adapters with the printer. Had to purchase (what looks like) the same exact spindle that did include the 3 adapters. Solid build. I like the platten vacuum paper hold for stability. I understand that the t5170 does not have a vacuum paper hold. Print quality is very good for my requirements for photo enlargements at a reasonable cost. As the more expensive fine art models claim better shadows/black reproduction, you would pay for it with more than double the number of inks and a more than 2x price for the large format printer (44, no 36). Lifting the shadows in curves/levels and histo compression seems to be a good solution to address raw shadow under-performance and gamut reduction. Software is extensive, although the GUI look and feel are dated. Documentation and support (ie, site resources) is very good. Paper specific printer profiles work fairly well out of the box, however, i started using Spyderprint to attempt better screen to print accuracy. It was partially successful. At the end of the day, making test patches is likely still needed to reduce waste for large prints. As this printer is not constantly used, print head clogging can be an issue. Their device management console allows scheduling periodic calibration (once per week, per month) to keep the print head healthy. 5
